Today, April 1st 2008, Dorie Jean discovered the art and fun of water gun fighting. I don't know who had more fun or laughed the loudest, but for hours she and and I stayed on the porch shooting each other and laughing.

I can't remember the last time I laughed so much or with so much love. Her eyes gleemed as she stood behind a post and shot at me around it, at 3 she was a pretty good shot. The only thing that finally saved me was my offer to allow her to watch Little Bill on Noggin.

Thankfully I was allowed to rest awhile until it was time to go to battle again...

Granddaughters

Who would have ever thought that the sight of big blue eyes or the gentle touch of a tiny finger could bring new depth to every thing you do, see, touch, experince?

My granddaughters have done this and more... they are like 2 twinkling stars in a black night, forever guiding us, leading us to new things... I wake up each day looking forward to the next adventure.

Whether it is tracking tigers and lions with Dorie at the local plant nursery (the shade plant area makes a nice jungle) to leaping over giant snakes (you guessed it.... water hoses) or watching Althea grab an old purse of mine and sling it over her arm like an old lady... they bring such joy to our lives.
